But was the old lady in such a hurry because Fu Qianshen had said that it was time to close the net?
Although she was a bit puzzled, she could only agree for the time being. "Okay, I'll try my best to invite Mr. Qiu."
"Well, it's not 'try my best'. You must invite Mr. Qiu to the event," Mrs. Fu said resolutely and then hung up the phone directly.
She didn't even give her a chance to refuse.
Feng Yu raised her eyebrows. On the surface, Mrs. Fu came to ask her to attend the banquet, but actually she wanted to use Feng Yu's hand to get the mysterious richest man in North City to come to the Fu family banquet!
Feng Yu helplessly raised her eyes and looked at the man.
He seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance. Squinting his eyes, he directly refused, "I'm not going."
Feng Yu rubbed her forehead in distress. She knew Mrs. Fu quite well. In the old lady's heart, only the reputation of the Fu family mattered, and nothing else did.
This time, she was so insistent on asking Feng Yu to bring Mr. Qiu to the banquet. Presumably, she really had something important to talk to Fu Qianshen about.
This matter might be directly related to Fu Qianshen's plan.
If she had to choose between making Fu Qianshen embarrassed to avoid her own embarrassment, she would rather let Mrs. Fu make things difficult for herself.
Feng Yu stood up, picked up her bag again, and her eyes showed a bit of determination. "Since that's the case, I'll go alone."
Fu Qianshen smiled instead. He immediately pulled Feng Yu into his arms and made her sit on his lap.
"I won't go if she invites me, but if it's Mrs. Qiu inviting, I'll naturally go."
Feng Yu shook her head, her eyes showing a bit of expectation. "But will this affect your plan?"
Fu Qianshen curled his lips. "Of course not."
"Then, Mr. Fu..." Feng Yu blinked her long eyelashes and stared directly at the man in front of her.
Fu Qianshen raised his eyebrows.
Feng Yu immediately understood what he meant. She gave his red lips a loud kiss and said with a smile, "Mr. Fu, is this appearance fee enough?"
"Not enough!" Fu Qianshen directly pressed her on the sofa.
...
At the banquet.
Mrs. Fu and the fake Fu Liangshen had already been waiting in the banquet hall for a long time.
Mrs. Fu looked serious and reminded, "When Mr. Qiu comes later, you must entertain him well. Do you understand?"
"The Hailan Group is just..." The fake Fu Liangshen's eyes showed a bit of disdain.
The Fu Group was a century - old enterprise, while Hailan was just a small company that had risen in the past two years. How could it be compared with the Fu Group?
But he didn't know what this old woman was worried about. She actually forced him to come here and bow his head to Qiu Fu and Feng Yu!
Just thinking about the scene where he might have to bow his head to Feng Yu later, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Fu's face suddenly darkened. Gritting her teeth, she deliberately lowered her voice. "What? Do you still look down on the Hailan Group? How long has Hailan been listed, and how much of our Fu Group's market share has it snatched? You spent 100 million yuan to buy a piece of land a few years ago, but no one has been interested in it until now. That project has been stagnant for more than two years. Only if this project can proceed smoothly can the Fu Group compete with Hailan again!"
"People have started to doubt the strength of the Fu family and are reluctant to cooperate with us on that project. If our Fu family can make friends with Mr. Qiu this time, then the whole project will have a chance to continue. We've invested too much money in that project. We must not let that project be completely ruined. Do you understand?"
The fake Fu Liangshen was convinced by Mrs. Fu's words and bowed his head in shame.
"Yes," he replied faintly.
"Mrs. Fu, the third young mistress, is coming."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Feng Yu was wearing a pure white evening dress and walking gracefully into the banquet hall.
Mrs. Fu smiled happily, walked to Feng Yu's side, and said, "Girl, you've been so busy with work lately. Even when you're free, you don't come back to see this old woman."
"Grandma, I'll come back to see you more often when I'm free," Feng Yu said with a faint smile and hooked Mrs. Fu's arm.
Xia Xixi was on Feng Haitian's arm. They also attended this banquet. Slowly, they came to Mrs. Fu.
"Hello, in - law," Feng Haitian greeted politely.
Mrs. Fu just nodded and smiled politely as a greeting.
"I heard that Mr. Qiu is coming tonight. Why hasn't Mr. Qiu come yet?" Xia Xixi deliberately raised her voice and mentioned this matter while looking towards the door.
All the guests were very surprised.
After all, the Fu family had always claimed that Qiu Fu would come today, so many big shots in North City had come to this banquet. If Qiu Fu didn't show up this time...
It would be even more difficult for the Fu family to make a comeback.
Mrs. Fu's face looked a bit heavy. Squinting her eyes, she asked Feng Yu coldly, "Girl, didn't you tell me that Mr. Qiu would definitely come?"
Feng Yu pretended to be surprised and looked at Mrs. Fu.
Xia Xixi immediately continued, "Well, with the relationship between our Xiaoyu and Mr. Qiu, how could she not be able to invite Mr. Qiu? Just wait patiently."
As soon as she said this, there was an immediate uproar.
People around started to whisper about Feng Yu.
"Feng Yu is just a popular actress. What kind of relationship could she have with Mr. Qiu?"
"I heard that Feng Yu is a good friend of Mrs. Qiu, so..."
"Mr. Qiu is the husband of Feng Yu's good friend. Then why is Feng Yu so close to her friend's husband? Is she afraid that others won't know that her relationship with Mr. Qiu is special?"
Mrs. Fu's face became even worse. Her eyes showed a bit of displeasure, and she glared angrily at Xia Xixi.
Feng Haitian naturally realized that Mrs. Fu was dissatisfied with Xia Xixi. He quickly pulled Xia Xixi behind him and apologized, "My wife is still young and doesn't know how to talk. If she has offended you in any way..."
"If you don't know how to talk, then don't come. Once you're here, you must be responsible for your words," Feng Yu directly interrupted Feng Haitian. She gave Xia Xixi a cold look.
The smile on Feng Haitian's face froze, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You said that my relationship with Mr. Qiu is special?" Feng Yu asked coldly.
Looking into her sharp eyes like a falcon's, Xia Xixi couldn't help but feel a bit scared. She quickly hid behind Feng Haitian and said aggrievedly, "I, I just wanted to help you. I didn't mean any harm."
Feng Yu looked at Xia Xixi in confusion. "May I ask in what capacity do you evaluate my relationship with Mr. Qiu?"
"I..." Xia Xixi was a bit anxious and was at a loss for words for a moment.
Feng Yu curled her lips coldly. "Is it in the capacity of Mrs. Feng or as my friend?"
